Perroquetsecours is looking for the best possible family for the following bird who was found on August 21st 2017 in Valleyfield QC and who was properly surrendered to Perroquetsecours. This bird can not leave his foster family home before October 21st 2017, our policy being that the every found bird must remain in our foster care for two months, time for us to search for the owner or to allow time for the owner to manifest himself, which has been done. The bird is currently Beaconsfield QC.

Habits and personality: (text based on her foster family's observations)

This beautiful blue parrotlet is a small bird with a nice temper. He likes to climb in his cage and does acrobatics. As soon as he gets out of his cage, he will get on the shoulder of the nearest person around him. When we first had him, he would prefer to go on my husband’s shoulder but now he seems to go equally on his shoulder as well as mine. He loves playing with our hair while he’s on our shoulder. He likes to nibble on our clothes, so to prevent him from making holes in our clothes, we place a towel on our shoulder. He doesn’t step up on our fingers or hands because he is afraid. However, I believe that with time, he will be eventually able to gains trust and step up, because we have started approaching him with treats, like with millet in our hands.

He eats Tropican supplemented budgie seeds. He also likes lettuce, celery leaves and kale. Other vegetables such as cucumbers, peppers, zucchini, carrots, etc. had been offered to him but he didn’t eat them. He likes to take his bath in a water bowl that is attached to his cage.

This parrotlet is adorable despite showing his discontentment once in a while. However, if you don't let him intimidate you, he surrenders quickly. When he first got here, he had some bad habits, such as eating his own faeces. The problem seems to resorb itself with a proper diet. His cage has to be kept clean regularly to prevent this, or a cage with a grilled bottom is suggested. With time, he will hopefully stop completely this bad habit which could be detrimental to his health.

Reason for placing in adoption:

The bird was found and surrendered to Perroquetsecours. He stayed two months in our foster care, time for us to search to find the owner without success. Our mandate has been completed and now the bird can be put up for adoption. The adoption fee for this bird is $25.00. The bird does not come with his cage, however, in order to avoid additional stress to the animal, we can make arrangements with the adopter.

If you’re interested to adopt this bird or wish to have more information, please contact Perroquetsecours at the following link: adoption@perroquetsecours.com or call 450-567-8765 or fill out our web form at the following link: http://www.perroquetsecours.com/?page_id=1860Perroquetsecours will make a pre-selection of the candidates that meet our rigorous criteria for adoption. The final choice of the adoptive family among all candidates will be at the sole discretion of Perroquetsecours.

Perroquetsecours must, on a regular basis, put some unclaimed found birds up for adoption and in doing so, it updates a database of candidates interested in adopting a parrot. Therefore, and although this is not its main mission, in exceptional circumstances and at its own discretion, it happens that Perroquetsecours agrees to intervene to help a person in need to find a new family for one or more of their birds.
